The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission" or the "SEC") is proposing new custody rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Investment Company Act") and amendments to related reporting and recordkeeping requirements to address how regulated investment companies may custody crypto securities and similar investments, and amendments to the custody rule and related reporting and recordkeeping rules under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the "Advisers Act") to address how registered investment advisers may custody client crypto funds and securities. We are also proposing to amend the current custody rules to modernize their requirements, to better address current industry practices and feedback, and to implement certain conforming amendments. We are also proposing amendments to the recordkeeping rules under the Investment Company Act and Advisers Act related to these proposed modernization amendments to the custody rules. Additionally, we are proposing to redesignate the custody rule under the Advisers Act and to make corresponding amendments to Form ADV and Form ADV-E for registered investment advisers to reflect the Advisers Act custody rule redesignation. We are also proposing amendments to Form ADV for registered investment advisers and Form N-CEN for regulated investment companies and to improve the quality of public disclosures made on these forms. We are also proposing to add new questions to Form ADV and Form N-CEN related to tokenized private funds and regulated investment company shares, respectively.

These final rules set forth requirements that amend the regulations under the Public Health Service Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and the Internal Revenue Code regarding price transparency reporting requirements for non- grandfathered group health plans and health insurance issuers offering non-grandfathered group and individual health insurance coverage.

These final rules also aim to improve the findability of all publicly disclosed machine-readable files required under the Transparency in Coverage rules, including the prescription drug file, by requiring a text file containing contact information for the files, and a footer with website URLs. These final rules also require pricing information that is made available through an online consumer tool and on paper (upon request), to also be made available by phone, and establish that the satisfaction of such requirement also satisfies the requirements of section 114 of the No Surprises Act (including for grandfathered group health plans and health insurance issuers offering grandfathered group and individual health insurance coverage that are not otherwi...

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or the Agency) is describing the approaches it is considering for the design of early- phase clinical trials of ibogaine drug products and is opening a public docket to receive comments. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is funding clinical development of ibogaine, and the first federally supported trials are expected to study ibogaine in adults with opioid use disorder (OUD) and adults with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). FDA is building on the guidance for industry entitled "Psychedelic Drugs: Considerations for Clinical Investigations" by seeking comments, data, and information from the public on protocol elements relevant to ibogaine development--including dose selection and escalation, care setting, safety monitoring, eligibility criteria, stopping rules, and safety oversight, in part, because the Federal Government is funding work in this area. FDA will consider all information provided in response to this Request for Information (RFI) to inform whether and how these specific elements should be considered in its review of Investigational New Drug Applications (INDs) involving ibogaine.

The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2025-13-08, which applies to all DG Aviation GmbH Model DG-1000T gliders. AD 2025-13-08 requires revising the glider flight manual and installing "Motor INOP" placards to prohibit operation with the powerplant. Since issuance of AD 2025-13-08, a design improvement to the propeller adapter ring has been developed that is considered terminating action for the operational prohibition of AD 2025-13-08. This proposed AD would retain the requirement to revise the flight manual, would provide an optional terminating action for the retained actions by incorporating a specified modification, would allow removal of the "Motor INOP" placards following accomplishment of that optional terminating action, and would require removal, inspection, and reinstallation of the propeller adapter disk, including installation of safety pins. This proposed AD would also prohibit the installation of affected propeller adapter rings. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
